Price of fuel in Co.Wexford..Where's the cheapest/dearest fuel?

Cantona's Collars · 2010-07-02 20:24:19

Is it just me or has the price of petrol and diesel been creeping up over the past week in Enniscorthy? A certain garage (won't name it YET) has had 3 increases in price in a week,it's gone from 132.9 to 137.9 in that time.Was in Waterford yesterday and petrol was 129.9 a litre. There was uproar before when it was claimed…

Petrol in Applegreen Ferns : 150.8, Diesel 140.8

Arklow had reduced theirs to 149.8 & Diesel to 139.8 this morning.

Enniscorthy still 4 or 5c per litre dearer.

I don't like the applegreen juice I find the car is underpowered while using it. Top in Wexford town 151.8 Top in Enniscorthy 155.9, go figure eh? Then they wonder why everyone is in Wexford :mad:

Retailers are dragging their heels passing on the savings as no matter how low the price of fuel goes the government refuse to drop their cut from duty on it in line with the drop of fuel prices.

Bellfield,Enniscorthy is now 139.9 for petrol & 133.9 for diesel.

I fell for the low price of petrol in ferns, car is running like a dog since. I normally get 200 km from the top quarter of the tank. I've done 180 km and it's gone well past the three quarter mark. That's the second time I've been caught with this poor quality fuel. I won't be caught again...

Dose this mean that the €7.15 pint of Heineken in Temple bar is better than the €4.30 pint of Heineken in my local ?

I understand your cynicism I was the very same myself. I was of the belief that all petrols were the same but the facts speak for themselves. A heart stopping 550 km to a tank of Applegreen opposed to a handy 640 km of Maxol with about another 70 km to spare. I'll let you know what I get out of this Applegreen tankful but it isn't looking hopeful.

There's no need for the capital letters I understand the point you are making. Yes my driving varies very little from week to week as is the case with a lot of people I'm sure. With the car being a 7spd dsg it's always in the same gear in the same place,except when using this Applegreen rubbish it tends to hang in a lower gear for a little longer and in general just feels to be struggling in places where it doesn't normally.

Applegreen in Ferns is the cheapest Diesel I've seen. €1.27. It's cheap for a reason. It's crap. Car is a bit sluggish, and lasts no length.
My advice. Buy the good stuff. As my granny used to say, "I can't afford to buy cheap things"

i disagree, i buy here a lot of the time when passing through and can't fault it, car goes very well on the stuff, can't see any real difference with the fuel i get there compared to other well known spots.

Sure doesn't all fuel get shipped into the one port over here and then the various different company tankers pull from it...?unless you've got the dodgy boys up north giving you the supply..

Bought petrol in Barndarrig for 133.9 yesterday which is five cents cheaper than the cheapest in Gorey. This represents a 13c overall differential in the price drop compared to Gorey and nobody can say the stations in Gorey don't do good business, there's got to be a scam going on here.
